With the two dojo masters appearing in front of the temple priest, he rolled the coin in the back of his hand, moving it with his knuckles across his skin.
"Since Master Sifu chose first. It's your turn, Master Arakawa."
The temple priest said.
"I'll choose heads."
Master Arakawa said in a serious tone.
With a toss, the coin reached high in the air and then came back down, spinning rapidly, and eventually landed on the temple priest's hand.
It landed on tails.
"Tails. Master Arakawa will choose his fighter first."
The temple priest said and pocketed the coin.
With a nod, Master Arakawa returned back to his seating area and looked at every fighter of his.
Everyone returned the gaze with a mix of excitement and nervousness.
It was difficult to start as the first fighter, as whoever won first had momentum on their side, but now that they lost, being the second fighter was equally bad if not worse.
